About this podcast

The Multiverse Employee Handbook is a science comedy podcast where workplace humor meets cosmic exploration. From quantum mechanics explained through staff meetings to space history through annual reviews, we decode scientific mysteries through corporate metaphors. Each episode combines rigorous science with absurdist office scenarios, whether exploring the strange physics of black holes or the equally baffling logic of expense reports. Perfect for curious minds who suspect their workplace might exist across multiple dimensions, we deliver astronomical insights wrapped in corporate satire. Whether you’re fascinated by the mysteries of dark matter or the inexplicable disappearance of break room snacks, our show provides genuine scientific knowledge with existential humor. Subscribe now to navigate both the cosmos and cubicle culture with equal parts wonder and skepticism! New episodes arrive every Tuesday, regardless of temporal anomalies.
